Heather + John : Disney Grand Floridian Wedding

April 24, 2013 by Jensey 7 Comments

I’d been looking forward to Heather and John’s Grand Floridian wedding since we met them for their engagement session around Disney’s Boardwalk Inn. I think in all the weddings we’ve photographed, I’ve never seen a man so ecstatic about marrying his wife. I mean, our grooms are always excited and in a good mood, but John literally had the biggest smile I’ve ever seen plastered on his face every second of the day. His attitude was so infectious that I couldn’t help but feel overcome with joy myself, despite being the most sick I’ve ever been photographing a wedding.

The hardest thing about this job is you can’t exactly call in sick. Lucky for me, our pal Maxine was Heather and John’s wedding planner, and she made sure I had everything I needed, even bringing me hot tea at the reception. <3 If I’m gonna photograph a wedding sick, I sure as heck hope it’s a Disney Fairy Tale Wedding!

I’ve still never met another “Jensey,” but Heather’s bridesmaid “Jincy” was possibly the closest I’ll ever come to meeting one! I heard my name being said all day, something I’ve never experienced before! :)

Oh, just another photo of the officiant putting our groom in a headlock- *Yawn!* Actually, Heather and John booked “Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase, a retired professional wrestler, to marry them. This was his signature hold. :)

Photo of the Week

Possibly my favorite photo from Carrie and Patrick’s vow renewal at Disney’s Aulani Resort in Hawaii- Patrick kept his eyes closed tight so he couldn’t see Carrie while she helped him get dressed. :)

Sam + Jake : Orlando Hard Rock Cafe Wedding

April 17, 2013 by Jensey 7 Comments

Samantha and Jake are two of the funnest, sweetest people you’ll ever meet and Jake is a HUGE music fanatic. He doesn’t just GO to Bonnaroo, he brings his mom. He and Sam felt like the Orlando Hard Rock Cafe at Universal’s City Walk was the perfect place to hold their wedding and after shooting there, I have to admit- Even though I sort of felt like I was cheating on Disney shooting this one, this venue is awesome.

I love that Nate grabbed this photo of Jake playing on the Hard Rock stage before the ceremony. :)

Pretty sure I was getting yelled at by their DJ for taking this. Even though so many of our couples learn of the private last dance from our blog, DJs don’t seem to know that we like to stick around for the first half of the song to shoot it! Should probably blog about that soon. :)
